Samantha and Parker

Way, way, way back in September, beautiful Samantha and Parker tied the knot. Their wedding day was fabulous, laid back (a friday affair) and sweet (like them). Not to mention the weather was about perfect.

Sam and Parker met quite a few years ago during confirmation class at United Methodist Church in Fargo, the very church where they were hitched. After all these years, Sam has kept the promise ring Parker gave her way back when. It was so great the she incorporated it into their day.

Sam had been working on her killer arm muscles to prepare for the big day. We had to grab a shot for her personal trainer.

Both Sam and Parker are very, very proud of the fact that they attended Concordia College in Moorhead… so, naturally, we had to take a few portraits at the local college. Oh, and did you know that it’s bad luck to walk under the bell tower until your married? The happy couple was thrilled to finally walk under the tower as husband and wife!

Their cocktail reception and dance was held at the Fargo Country Club.

Congrats Sam and Parker!

Sneak Peek: Sara & Matt

We’re stilling recovering from the Saturday’s explosion of energy that was Sara and Matt’s wedding. The bridal party was dancing on the trolley before they even turned on the music and the rest of the night was a shout-out-loud good time with Dueling Pianos at the dance.

Congrats Sara and Matt!

Amanda and Matthew

Wow, it certainly has been a long time since we’ve posted a wedding on the blog! We have had a very busy fall and early winter here at Milestones and have lots, and lots, and lots to blog about in the next few weeks.

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is the relationships I form while doing my job. There is no doubt that I consider Amanda and Matt friends after photographing their September wedding. They are such a cool couple, full of utmost love and respect for each other. They have a great sense of humor, fantastic taste (hello? the grey and yellow color palette was superb!) and warmest spirit. Their wedding day matched them perfectly and it’s clear that they are loved by their friends and family.

I started off with Amanda at the Hotel Donaldson in Fargo. The very talented Melissa Mercedes transformed already gorgeous Amanda into a beautiful, modern bride.

Meanwhile, Dave photographed the groom who was getting ready at his brother’s house in Moorhead. Isn’t their pup Lincoln the cutest? Believe it or not, Lincoln is still a puppy!

Before heading over to the church in Moorhead, I had a quick portrait session with the ladies downtown. Again, isn’t Amanda gorgeous?

Amanda and Matt were married at Triumph Lutheran Church in Moorhead, Minnesota. The couple had decided not to see each other before the ceremony, so emotions were flying high pre ceremony. It made for a fantastic moment when Amanda walked down the aisle and they saw each other for the first time that day.

Their celebration was held at the Plain Art Museum in downtown Fargo. We took a few minutes before the reception to take a few portraits downtown then headed to the Plains for a fantastic night of food and fun.

Congrats Amanda and Matt!

Sarah & Doyle

Sarah and I have known each other since college so it was a thrill to photographer her marriage to Doyle. (EDITOR’S NOTE: I went back to school in my mid-20s and Sarah is much younger than me. *ahem*) The ceremony was a one-time chance for us at the Fargo Theatre because they don’t normally allow wedding ceremonies to be held there – unless you’re the awesomeness that is Sarah.

Ann and I loved being part of the day and, as you can see from these photos, it was a great party.

Doyle made a new friend on Broadway.

I love the randomness of this photo.

Sarah and Doyle needed a photo with Marge Gunderson.

College roommates, sharing the joy.

The wedding ceremony was basically an awesome concert with some wedding vows thrown in. Brooks West (below), Josh Harty and Brennen & Seth played absolutely great music that will be difficult to top.

Grain Belts at the Empire Bar after the ceremony. A Fargo original.

Kristen & Kyle

As the weather turns colder and the leaves are gone it’s getting difficult to look at our wedding photos from earlier this fall. Remember short sleeves and green leaves?

Kristen and Kyle had a beautiful wedding in downtown Fargo at First Presbyterian Church and reception at the Avalon. The church is absolutely one of the best places in town to photograph a ceremony and Kristen and Kyle looked great in this backdrop.

Such a fun couple and cool locations. We had a great time, Kristen and Kyle!

Sneak Peek: Bridgette & Keith

A Halloween-themed wedding!

Bridgette and Keith had so much fun incorporating Halloween into their wedding this Saturday and we had so much fun photographing them. The grounds of the Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead provided such a great backdrop for the photos.

Sneak Peek: Jenna & Josh

dave — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 16:33:21 +0000

A few leaves left on the trees and the wonderful crisp, cool weather, provided Jenna and Josh with a perfect fall wedding day this past Saturday.

Sneak Peek: Kendra & Christopher

dave — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 17:23:24 +0000

Not only was Kendra and Chris day unique because it was held on 10.10.10, but it was also unseasonably warm with the high reaching 82°F! We took advantage of the great weather by taking some portraits at a local park.

Amanda & James

dave — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 04:16:37 +0000

Outdoors weddings are always exciting in the Upper Midwest and it proved to have a sense of humor for Amanda and James’ wedding. The clouds teased us most of the day and the only rain we saw was in the five minutes that the bridal party needed to walk to the covered ceremony site at Trollwood. A little bit of water didn’t ruin a thing and just added to the great story of their day.

His PRIDE and JOY … get it?!

*ahem*

Sneak Peek: Georgia & Nick

Only five weeks ago we photographed her sister’s wedding and last Saturday was Georgia and Nick’s turn. Beautiful fall light streamed through the stained glass windows at St. Mary’s while we photographed the happy couple. It was a day of fun, flirting and energy. Congratulations!
